Probably nothing wrong with it. AC Delco is a decent OEM brand but even Halfords do a decent oil for our cars cheaper than that, £24.98 for 5l is getting on a bit compared to Halfords at £12 for 4l of same spec oil. And being a CDT you need 2 of them to have enough oil for a full change.....

ECP have regular offers on their Triple QX semi-synthetic oil and sometimes even throw in a free oil filter.

Currently £12.99 for 5 litres.

Providing an oil complies with the required ACEA specs and viscosity, it will be fine. The branding affects the price more than the performance.

Agreed. For my car, I use oil from a discount shop called Home Bargains (they're a Northern outfit) made in Warrington - it's fully synthetic 5/30 for £14.99 (5L).
